FIRST TIME HEARING Kool & The Gang - Get Down On It (Official Video) REACTION

[@TheDivayenta]

This got everyone on the dance floor. KATG had one incredible hit after the next. All killer dance tunes. We gotta see you dance, Twon!

[@lindapowers8592]

Yesssssss!

[@iainsan]

This is so impossible not to dance to. I remember so many empty club dance floors in the 80s which were immediately rushed and packed the moment this came on.

[@robinakym2356]

Get dancing dude. Girls love guys that dance

[@punisher455]

One of the best bands of all time!

[@glennallen239]

I graduated High School in 1982. This Song was played at School Dances and Skating Rinks and Parties. It was also played at my College. It never failed to get people on the Dance floor.

[@alexandroquerevalu7811]

I Graduated in 81. A year before you Graduated. It was great to be a teenager in our day.

[@timetravellingone]

Check out Lionel Richie "All Night Long" their song "Celebration" and DeBarge "Rhythm of the night"

[@Pammy65]

Happy music makes your body move!!

[@kurtadams3021]

Pure uncut Funk 🤘🏾

[@wandawoman4847]

I remember rollerskating to this back in the day! So many great memories tied to KATG songs. It's crazy how certain songs are the soundtrack to my life.

[@cindyd.554]

Rollerskating was so the thing, and I think it's time to revisit that, just without the satin pants and headbands 😏

[@lilyj7742]

@@cindyd.554 I USE TO 🧊 ⛸️ TO KOOL & THE GANG ❤️ , BACK IN THE DAY 😁

[@rodb9275]

I think "Celebration" was my favorite song of theirs. I hope you'll check it out.

[@maryewilson2009]

Soul Train 1971. That and American Bandstand were Saturday rituals in my household. Kool & the Gang had so many hits. They were iconic!

[@hickokhaley]

We saw this band in concert back in '81..They put on a wonderful show. I was so saddened when the lead singer (James "J.T." Taylor) left the group. He had a fantastic voice.

[@ujimajame4601]

I listened to everything they did after he left and the guy they had replacing him sounded just like him. He did return with the "State of Affairs" album (on the premise that the records would say "featuring J.T. Tsylor") however, but they just didn't score on the charts becayse they didn't choose the right records to release.

[@hickokhaley]

@@ujimajame4601 I will check that out. Thanks!

[@Wolfsky9]

Lead singer J. T. Taylor -----------------loved these guys !

[@richardcogbill6791]

You need to dance Twon. You'll get older faster when you don't move. Soul Train came out in the 70s thru the 80s.

[@lilyj7742]

❤️❤️❤️ KOOL & THE GANG ‼️ , I SAW THEM IN CONCERT IN CALI ❤️ A FEW YEARS AGO , I HAD THE BEST TIME EVER ‼️😁💃

[@EJKest2019]

This is my favorite kool & the gang song!

[@karenlackner192]

Dude!!!! Even us white kids were jammin’ to Kool & the Gang! Great GREAT MUSIC!!!!

[@berniec7134]

This group really knew how to get your feet, body to move. Love it, love it! My dance music, In my 70's and this was my music to dance too. I still do at many celebrations. I like to surprise everyone with my dancing. I can dance and my friends were mostly black and Hispanic and they had the moves. Thank you so much Your 1 of my favorite reaction people.😃

[@LadybugLuv]

Soul train premiered in '71 when I was 2, so it is always playing in the background of my music memories!

[@nataliephibbs3105]

Get down on it!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@carolking1502]

Another example of why I miss big bands with brass instruments!

[@donnacarter2617]

My all time jam. Love the 70's and 80's. Growing up with this, it's in my heart ❤️. Thanks for viewing this.

[@someguyinssga5465]

All of Kool and the Gang's stuff back in the 80's was really great. My favorite is Celebration because it always made you happy.

[@judiplaz]

They were my concert. 8th grade. So many hits! Jungle boogie, Summertime (redone by will Smith) celebration, ladies night, Joanna...

[@DiEdraStinson]

I KNEW you had to be a great dancer, Twon! It's in the way you move just sitting on your chair, man when the songs play! AGT? Oh, that would've been awesome to see you & your friend doing your thing.

[@laurakali6522]

Kool and the Gang, Earth Wind and Fire, KC and the Sunshine Band, and The Commodores are all great funky dance music bands!

[@annejohnston2193]

Hello sweetheart , nice to see you , its a great song , you will love it , have a great day

[@sylart57]

Soul Train started in Chicago in 1969, hosted by Don Cornelius, (who was formerly a DJ at WVON Radio AM Chicago), on WCIU TV Channel 26. Then went into syndication and moved out to L.A. in the early '70's!!!!

[@Jody525252]

Loved them....DISCO ❤

[@kayeaton1691]

Another classic groovy song

[@jcsamples]

You are just scratching the surface of Kool & the Gang. Keep digging little brother

[@deborahdennehy9937]

Just loved Kool & the Gang, Get down on it, 80/81. To think it was such a long time ago, it's still groovy for you youngsters. I was 20 yrs old & really LOVED it!!!

[@valeriadias3318]

I was 6 when this came out but I love them!

K&TG is the truth if you want some old school music.

Man these dudes had so many hits.

[@juneevans8647]

This was my favorite dance music. Gap Band, Kool and the Gang, Rick James.

I would love for you to react to sugarhill Gang "Rapper's Delight" great reaction! Love Kool & The gang! Every Middle School dance one of their songs were playing.

[@cindyd.554]

[@thekevindeucey]

Kool & The Gang was one of my first favourite bands. They are off the charts good.

[@kimberleighlivingston9411]

Now that I'm sober and watching this it's giving me a headache, I must have been really high back then cause I thought this was the coolest thing I had ever seen.

[@rb7007]

One of 1st records I bought! 😎 I love Kool & the Gang. They had loads of 80s Bangers!

[@mjpnews1310]

Hollywood swingin used in the film roll bounce. Jungle boogie used in pulp fiction. Great runes. Best known for their sing celebration but they have a lot of very funky music vs.their radio hits in the 80s.

[@thekingcobra63]

All time favorite band. So many great songs all the way back in their jazz days to their hits in the 80's and beyond.

[@janicetilley5540]

This was one of the songs used for the Soul Train line dance🕺🏽

[@darkhaterawe1943]

Don't sleep on "Victory" by the same group!! I look at "Get Down On It" as not just a club/dance banger but something that can be applied to life!!

[@dianegoldeneye7207]

🎵 Get Down on it ... get your back up off that wall. Woo hoo. Got me movin. Lol.

[@phillychick4196]

HOW U DONT KNOW WHEN SOUL TRAIN STARTED!!!! DAS WHERE YOU COME FROM YOUNG BUCK!!! Continue your brilliant research. Keep asking questions. Google it! Learn it boo. There’s a WEALTH of Old School!! Love you . Auntie Kim (Philly)

[@jorgeseixas5170]

Please play more from them (from Portugal )

[@zanohoriamazo1]

The song I think you were trying to remember maybe was ‘Boogie Oogie Oogie’, by the female guitar & bass duo, Taste of Honey. That one has similar topic about not thinkin you to cool to get on the dance floor, & hit in like ‘78, when disco was still major. Kool & the Gang had a late disco hit called Ladies’ Night. That & this one you played would both be mad popular on the roller skating rinks too. The way you was movin a little bit was how peeped be groovin on skates. Kool & the Gang is a major force of ‘70’s r&b, as well as ‘80’s video era hits. P Diddy & Mase’s 90’s hit ‘Harlem World’, was straight up sample of KATG’s ‘74 hit Hollywood Swingin, Definitely not no one hit wonder, just as popular as other music bands like Earth Wind & Fire, just not as deep. The 1980 KARG hit Celebration, was a no. 1 Billboard hit, which became like an anthem for parties, weddings, & sports teams. They may be the only large soul group to have done that, not even EW&F, or even mixed bands like War, Sly & the Family Stone, Tower of Power, or Average White Band accomplished that. Other KATG hits: 70’s - Jungle Boogie, Summer Madness 80’s - Too Hot, You Can Have It, Joanna, Fresh, Cherish the Life, Emergency.

You are right tho... it’s got a 70s disco vibe. Later they did more soul/R&B. Not a disco fan but these guys could make your head bop! Btw... Soul Train started in early 70s. I

[@antonellaperrucci5411]

👍

[@konikini6541]

Love cool and the gang, check out celebrate, ladies night, my favourite though is summer madness. Plenty of hits, reminds me of going out dancing on the weekends. Check out some earth wind and fire they were also great.

[@williamhenderson1521]

"Celebration" should be next!

[@DiEdraStinson]

No way, Twon! You? A wallflower? You got too much soul & rhythm for me to imagine you don't dance. You were born in the wrong era, man. So glad you're here, though, doing REACTIONS from hearing what we heard. Makes it all worth it.

[@harriettholmes539]

Bobbing head again.😄

[@Mike-kv5pl]

They had quite a few hits. Check out their song HOLLYWOOD SWINGING.

[@jennhurl]

Hey Twon! It's Jen! Oh mannnnn have you hit on a great group! This rabbit hole I hope you go down a bit. The trumpets, saxophone, & smooth R&B voices have made them legendary. There's a couple songs you absolutely gotta hit from 70's & 80's. Huge songs - have fun!! 😊 - Ladies Night 🔥 - Celebration 🔥 - Fresh 🔥 - Too Hot ❤ Cherish kinda bores me & Jungle Boogie is really repetitive - IMO!

[@johnmendez2983]

They were on Soul Train use to watch 👍👍👍👍

[@anthonywilson1077]

Soul Train ran from October 2 1971 to March 27 2006. (That's 35 years.) I grew up watching both it and American Bandstand. Back in the day (and I can say that because I was a total of 11 years old when this song was released) if you didn't watch both of those you knew nothing about current music. Thanks for reacting to some "grown folks" music!

[@elisageorge1798]

Yeah but starting in the late round year 87 and thereafter, the spirit of the good old back in the day Soul Train was gone. Actually left with Don Cornelius. The Soooul Train!!!
